Mine:

I know you were hoping we weren't going to say this, but don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 9.2 pounds and that your labor will be about 12 hours long.

:lol we'll see. I don't doubt this baby will be late, but I'd put money on it being over 9.2 lbs!

You won't need to try any secret recipes to bring on labor. Have your emergency numbers ready. Don't wait until the last minute to get your nursery ready. We predict your baby will come 1-2 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.3 pounds and that your labor will be about 13 hours long.

I think the results are skewed because both DH and I were induced before our EDDs for reasons having little or nothing to do with the pregnancy. In my case, my father was leaving the air force and being born on base is a lot cheaper. In DH's case, MIL needed to have a C-section anyway, and she was due on leap day. She didn't want leap day babies (he's a twin) so she asked to go earlier.

I don't think that translates into my having an early baby. But it's a cute quiz. :)

My results
Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he's away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby will come 2-3 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.8 pounds and that your labor will be about 11 hours long.


Well, at least I won't have to pack my bags since I'm having it at home. :wink

I know my baby will be born after his due date but I'm curious *how* long after my edd he/she will decide to come.

[erin_brycesmom]

Yeah, Lorry I do think it is skewed. Mine would have been too had I not had 2 children already so it went by that. My mom had me by planned c-section so none of that matters for when I'll have my baby.

Anna, ha ha...yeah guess that survey wasn't for HB mamas.

Just about the time you think you can't handle hearing one more "when is that baby going to pop?", your baby will decide to make it's appearance. We predict your baby will be born 3-7 days before its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.2 pounds and that your labor will be about 7 hours long.



This was seriously cute, if not totally inaccurate :eyesroll Last baby was a 4ish hour labor, and I hope that this one is more like 8 or 9. It just sounds so much more managable that 4 intense hours!

This actually isn't far off from what I would guess! My babies are usually late, my last was 9lbs 8oz, two have been born early morning. My last two labors were under 3 hours.
Hmmm... well see! ;)

I know exactly what you mean, my last two labors were just bearly over 2 hours and so fast and intense that it keeps me wishing that my labor would be atleast a little longer so I can get into the sensations before its just all on me so suddenly!

[Scalpel]

that was hard to fill out because DP is a twin born early and there is only a donor so that info isnt accesible. By what I could fill out the baby will be 5.8 and 3 weeks early.....and I really hope that isnt true.

Here's mine

This will be my first, so this sounds totally doable. Of course, DH's birth could be slightly falsely early and small since his mom was a smoker (it was 1970) but my mom never smoked and I was still three days early and not big.

Sounds about right to me although I hope this labor is shorter...

I had preterm labor at 32 weeks with DD, and she was born at 36 weeks. So, I'm expecting an early baby again. And she was 6 pounds 4 ounces at birth. My labor (from 4 cm to delivery) was only 2.5 hours, so maybe the 6 hours will be total. Although I would like 6 hours of spread out labor rather than 2 hours of intense labor too. :)

Just about the time you think you can't handle hearing one more "when is that baby going to pop?", your baby will decide to make it's appearance.

Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.3 pounds and that your labor will be about 8 hours long.

[ThundersCry]

My prediction. Doubt it is true though, I am sure I will go late again, I just can feel it, lol.

I don't think this worked for me. I was induced VERY early because my dad was going out of town for business and my mom figured "Let's just get this over with." :dizzy:

My husband doesn't know ANYTHING about anything related to his birth. :hammer

And this is my first child. Sooooo.... yeah. I'm not taking the nestegg to Vegas just yet. But fun nonetheless!

[frontierpsych]

My husband doesn't know ANYTHING about anything related to his birth. :hammer

I know what you mean. DH has no idea whether or not he was breastfed.

[Alcyone]

DH doesn't know if his mother smoked when she was pregnant or not, much less how much he weighed or what time of day it was. But he DOES know that he was pulled out before his twin sister, therefore he is not the youngest!

[Sunfish]

That was fun. I did not have all the info but this is what I got.

[frontierpsych]

my mom smoked and drank while she was pregnant with me because she didn't know she wasn't supposed to. And this was not the stone ages, it was 1986!

Here is my prediction...

Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 6.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 5 hours long

I think that the baby will weigh a bit more, maybe just over 7lbs and my labor will be shorter (my last was about 2 hours). I probably wont be asked when I am going to pop much either- I generally have not gotten that big in the past.

[SorenEdenTucker]

sounds about right for me, all my babies have been early and have weighed 9lbs 3 os, 9lbs 0 oz and 9lbs 7 oz. I've had all sections so I've never truly labored but I hope I will get to this time and 4 hours sounds like a great number!!!

w00t! Someone else on here has bigger babies! :lol
Sorry, it's just that everyone I know has tiny babies, like 5 and 6 pounders, and are just in utter shock when they hear that DD was 10 lbs.

I hold the record for the biggest babies in my whole family and I'm the smallest person in the family at 5'2" and around 95 pounds prepregnancy lol Everyone was SHOCKED when our first son was born at 9 3 and 22". They were making bets and 7 pounds was the biggest guess. I will say with my last son (9 7 and 22.5") I was pretty darn miserable toward the end though. My husband says that I am proof that you can fit 10 pounds into a 5 pound bag lol

That doesn't seem off. My DD was born at 37 weeks after PTL that started at 27 weeks. She was 7lbs even and born in the morning. However, my labor with her was WAY longer than 13 hours :lol 13 hours sounds like a piece of cake!
